Flux Cored Welding Wire

Electro Gas Welding

EGW single & tandem

Electro Gas Welding for 490MPa tensile steel (EGW)

EGW applications
The purpose of EGW is highly efficient welding for vertical-up butt welding for heavy plate.
This process use the 100% CO2 shielding gas and auto-carriage, it has excellent low temperature
thoughness at high heat input (200~270KJ/cm)
Welding wire type divide by single & tandem, should be used to suitable type wire

Description
It is designed for welding of 490MPa high tensile steel for automatic V-up butt welding
! Wire provides high deposition rate with a welding wire due to high welding condition
" It feature excellent mechanical properties, easy slag removal, low spatter generation, good bead shape
Notes on usage and welding condition
It should be used only DCEP polarity and 100% CO2 shielding gas
! Once a wire was unpacked, the wire should be kept in an area of low humidity.
! If this note doesn't keep, it is possible to occur of weld defect
